I was looking for a devotional book on Handel's Messiah--because it has a cd in it with the Hallelujah chorus and...--anyway--I found an envelope of pictures at the bottom on the cabinet I was looking into--poor photography--very poor--but the pictures were mostly from our years in Edwards,--Mississippi almost 20 years ago.
We lived in a manse--a parsonage--a church owned preacher house. We lived there for 5 years--at our first church Jason pastored. The second bathroom was a mess--as you see--but the deacons did fix it up before we left. I have mentioned to a few people about the water in Edwards--lots of lignite or iron or something--said to be safe (I drank it:) needed lots of clorox in white wash loads--Made your skin and hair really soft and slippery--hard to "feel" rinsed off. I have said--a bath tub full looked like ice tea--southern tea, strong--or maybe even coca cola.
Well--here it is--only a few inches deep in this bath--
This was the blue bathroom between our room and the boys bedroom. There was a bathroom with a lot of brown in it in the main hall--which Hannah--and later Linnea used. Hence--Jack's oft repeated observation..
"BLUE IS FOR BOYS---
BROWN IS FOR GIRLS"
I was always confused about the "brown", I always expected him to say "pink" but just a few years ago Hannah reminded me about the brown bathroom--that girl is so smart.

AUNT CINDY! THAT'S AWFUL! Even dirty rain water isn't that brown! I don't know how you ever drank it, that has to be one of the funniest/grossest things I've ever heard! :)
oh ho. Mrs. Taylor. You make me laugh.
I have never heard about this water. Hmmm... interesting story. I have to agree with Mrs. Taylor that this water did make for beautiful Children. Especially, one of them in particular! Haha.
Jack was the most adorable little baby, ahhh!!
